About Tenino School District
For generations the Tenino School District has been the educational home to students across our community as well as a critical part of what makes our community a great place to live. We would like to extend a special welcome and a heartfelt thank you for the trust that you have placed in us.
The Tenino School District has a dedicated staff with a commitment to excellence. Our purpose is to provide each student the best education possible. To this end, the district has added additional world language and honors programs at the high school and art at the elementary and middle schools. All of this ensures that every student succeeds– academically, through participation in co-curricular, and social-emotionally. Our students' success is our highest priority.
Our District is made up of four schools. Parkside Elementary serves students from Kindergarten - 2nd Grade. Tenino Elementary serves students in Grades 3-5. Tenino Middle School, Grades 6-8 and lastly, Tenino High School serves students in Grades 9-12.
